COURAGE. He's truly valiant that can suffer The worst that man can breathe; and make his wrongs His outsides; to wear them like his raiment, carelessly; To bring it into danger. Shakespeare. Courage. COURAGE. BY BARRY CORNWALL. COURAGE!-Nothing can withstand Oh! no mountain-nymph art thou, Courage!-Nothing e'er withstood Courage! There is none so poor, None so humble, none so weak, Courage!-Who will be a slave, But he his wonted pride Soon recollecting, with high words, that bore Semblance of worth not substance, gently rais'd Their fainting courage, and dispell'd their fears. Milton The brave man seeks not popular applause, Dryden. |
